Entrance Pupil AND Exit Pupil

Entrance Pupil

The entrance pupil of a system is the imageof the aperture stop as seen from a point on the optic axis in the objectplane.

In the illustration, the physical apertureis behind the lens. You can see that more light will get through the physicalaperture behind the lens than would have if the lens were not present. Theextreme ray is one that is refracted by the lens so that it just passes throughthe aperture. Tracing the projected path of that extreme ray without the lens,you can see that the entrance pupil is the size aperture that would be requiredto pass that extreme ray in the absence of the lens.

Exit Pupil

The exit pupil of a system is the image ofthe aperture stop as seen from a point on the optic axis in the image plane.

In this case where the physical aperturestop is in front of the lens, the exit pupil is the image of that aperture stopas seen from the optic axis in the image plane, looking back through the lens.In this case the entrance pupil is just the physical aperture since there is nolens intervening from the standpoint of the object.
